Game Rules
*The game is played with 4 players.
*The boards should be placed 27 feet apart (front to front).
*Team partners face each other from opposite boards.
*Play starts at either board with all eight bags.
*Each team plays with a set of 4 bags. Each team has it's own color.
*Opponents alternate tosses until all 8 bags are played.
*The round is then scored (see scoring).
*After scoring the round repeat play from the opposite board. The scoring team from the previous round throws first.
Scoring
*The first team to 21 or more points wins.
*A team earns 1 point for a bag on the board. If any part of the bag is touching the ground after it ceases movement, it does not score a point. If a bag hits the ground before landing on the board it must be removed from the board before the next bag is thrown.
*A team earns 3 points for a bag that falls through the "Cornhole"!
*The score for each round is determined by calculating the difference between team totals for the round. For example, if team-A throws 1 bag into the "Cornhole"... 1 on the board... and 2 off the board... then their total is 4 points. If team-B throws 1 bag on the board and 3 off the board... their total is 1 point. The score of the round is the difference between the two totals. In this case... team-A scored 3 points (4-1=3)
Selection of players & stance
*Players can use any method to determine sides (i.e. coin flip, etc.). Stance is according to personal preference except that a player cannot cross the foul line (the front of the boards).
